Rare. Very rare to find one in good nick. This model in this colour develops a maze of fine cracks which reduces the attractiveness of the cabinet. So if one can be found with a cabinet in good condition you can see prices between $8,000 and $15,000 and a handful of collectors are willing to pay that much.
